Well I never thought about this happening anytime soon, but it did. The weird part is that the Windows partition still boots up and works fine. Should I go ahead and replace/upgrade the HD now or just reinstall OSX? I'm kind of thinking about upgrading...

I'd restore from your backup first before replacing the drive.

It failed to install it. HD is done. Time to upgrade.

I don't think I do anymore. Thanks. I went ahead and bought a new HD. I'm going to try to install it tonight or tomorrow.
